She actually did talk about nuclear stuff today, so in honor of that coincidence, I’ll share it. Interesting stuff. Link to video

The military has always been very strong in my community. Very few sailors, some Air Force, but mostly Marines and Army. And because one of the largest National Guard bases in the country is just down the road, a lot of the young people that do a hitch in the Army, go into the Guard. Many of them full-time. The military gives these kids opportunity. Maybe they want the training that is sometimes offered, maybe they serve a hitch in the infantry and then use their benefits to go to school or maybe they just want the extra check the NG provides. Regardless, because so many serve, we accord them a lot of respect and gratitude. There's also that small community natural patriotism that exists. And for many, it's a legacy thing.

a couple of families, entirely unrelated, who are living together to share expenses. "It takes a village." Philosophically I am quite OK with that concept. Roommates or flatmates should be more common when housing affordability is an issue. Unfortunately, too many local ordinances prevent too many unrelated individuals from renting/living together.

@Mik said in Quiet here: How do you do that comparison? Just the first post in this thread tells the story. There were no active threads for most of the day on Saturday. Even after Jon’s thread, it never got busy. Today? This place is slamming’…

@jon-nyc said in Articles of Impeachment: Don’t they have 4T of additional debt to sign into law? You’d think that would take precedence over performative impeachment hearings. They really need to come up with one or two big spending bills. Doesn't mean they haven't done anything....Noticed they sent a bill over to the senate recently about penalties for harming a USBP agent.

I've used the "Meanwhile in New York..." title multiple times. Sorry for the duplicate. There's just so much fun news nowadays!

Farmers are not politically monolithic. As for today's American farming...It needs a combination of trust-busting, overhaul of price supports and tariff protection as needed.
